Introduce a new environment variable XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME which if set takes precedence over gethostname(). It holds the local hostname that was set at the time the X session was started and thus is used and thus identifies the credential for this session in the authority file. This variable can be set by the display manager for the entire X session. I've fixed xdm and startx to do this, fixes for kdm and gdm are on their way.
If the variable don't exist, X11 should fall back to hostname in my eyes. the variable is from 2005, so if something breaks only now, it is no pam_xauth change. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
